Hello,

I want to send mail using "node-red-node-email" but I get "Error: Connection timeout" Can you help?

It is based on Node-red Raspberry pi.

Does the pi running node-red have internet access?

I'm sure it is but can you verify the pi where node-red is installed can reach the internet. Specifically, can you ping or curl to Gmail FROM THE PI?

I can send emails via Blynk. And I'm sending ping too.But I don't want to send it from Blynk.

Search the forum for gmail and you will find many posts discussing how to do it. I suspect you should not have TLS enabled, but I don't know.

How did you install node-red on the pi?
